Originally, what Ming Xingjian wanted to say was that if Yan Mingzhu was in trouble, she could come to him.
But thinking that the other party was a girl, saying such words would damage her reputation, so he abruptly changed the words he said.
Yan Mingzhu smiled and said: "I remember, you should go back early."
Yuan Yixiao learned that Yan Mingzhu actually wanted all the dowry back, and immediately ran over to take a look.
Looking at the ten boxes full, Yuan Yixiao would have looked down on such gold, silver and jewelry in the past.
But today is different from the past. After the Yuan family was surrounded, all their property was confiscated. Therefore, these ten boxes of jewelry are like a huge sum of money falling from the sky to Yuan Yixiao now.
"Cousin, you actually got all the dowry back from the Pei family. That's amazing. Cousin, please tell me how you did it!"
Yuan Yi smiled and took Yan Mingzhu's hand, extremely curious.
Even the elder's wife had a smile on her face, and she patted her forehead in a funny yet helpless manner, "You little ancestor, stop pestering your cousin. Zhuzhu has been busy all day, and it must be another day."
Are you tired and hungry? Let’s have dinner first and then slowly talk about what happened today.”
Naturally, Yan Mingzhu had no objection. At this time, Liu Xiang held up the birdcage and asked, "Girl, where will these white pigeons be placed? Should they be raised together with the chickens and ducks?"
Yuan Yi smiled when she saw a cage of white pigeons, and couldn't help but stretched out her hand to tease the bird, "Cousin, you bought a white pigeon again. Do you plan to raise all the animals that can lay eggs at home? Speaking of which, pigeon eggs
It’s also very fragrant!”
This little girl knows how to eat, and everyone was amused by her innocent words.
Liu Xiang proudly replied: "These white pigeons are the girl's trophy today. Old lady, cousin, it's a pity that you didn't go to the eldest princess's mansion today. You didn't get to see the wonderful scene of the girl blindfolded, bending a bow and shooting arrows.
Even His Highness King Dingbei praised our girl for her heroic appearance!"
Yuan Yixiao opened her eyes wide and was very surprised: "Cousin, do you know how to shoot arrows? Unlike me, you are stupid. When the eldest brother and the second brother were still there, they taught me many times, but I was a complete mess.
Can't hit the target."
Recalling the past, Yuan Yixiao's originally bright smile faded.
Seeing that the little girl's mood was obviously depressed, Yan Mingzhu smiled and touched her head, "As the saying goes, diligence can make up for weakness. If you want to learn, starting from tomorrow, I will take the time to teach you archery and learn some self-defense skills. In the future,
I can protect myself, okay?"
Yuan Yixiao nodded vigorously, "Okay, I want to grow up quickly so that I can protect my family!"
Yuan Yi smiled after comforting her, and Yan Mingzhu told Liu Xiang: "Let's put the white pigeon next to the chicken nest and duck nest first. Remember to cover it with a layer of cloth at night. The temperature difference is big at night, so as not to freeze to death. I will build another bird's nest tomorrow.
.”
During dinner, except for Mu Xiyan, who couldn't get out of bed easily and had to nurse her baby, everyone else sat together and ate together as a family.
At the dinner table, Yan Mingzhu briefly told the senator's wife and others what happened today.
After hearing this, Mrs. Yuan sighed and said: "In this Pei family, only Pei Duqin still has some conscience, but it is not a good thing. Zhuzhu, you have been wronged. If it weren't for the Yuan family now
In this situation, there is no need for you to go and get the dowry alone."
Yan Mingzhu shook her head and said with a smile: "Grandma, those dowries were originally prepared by you for your granddaughter. If your granddaughter doesn't get them back, will she still get cheaper things that are inferior to those beasts in the Pei family?"
The senator's wife was amused by Yan Mingzhu's words, and put asparagus into her bowl, "That's the truth, if you give it a try, you can't make it cheaper for the Pei family."
At this time, Liu Xiang, who was standing by and waiting, reminded: "Old madam, the girl prefers to eat meat now. If she eats vegetarian food, she will easily starve in the middle of the night."
The appetites of Yan Mingzhu and the original owner of this body are also very different. The original owner prefers vegetarian food, while she prefers big fish and meat.
Considering the Yuan family's situation and not being able to afford meat, Yan Mingzhu said nothing.
But now that the dowry is back, there is nothing to worry about in terms of food consumption, so there is no need to be so frugal anymore.
Before the elder lady could speak, Jiang Yingying suddenly said: "After my cousin reconciled with Pei Zhuoran, her temperament changed drastically. She changed from the quiet and timid person she used to be. She was not only good at literature and martial arts, but her taste was also different from before.
Completely different.
If it weren’t for this face, I would have thought someone else was pretending to be someone else.”
Although Jiang Yingying said this with a strange expression, her words were indeed correct.
But as soon as she finished speaking, the elder's wife darkened her face and scolded her sternly: "Zhuzhu is not the granddaughter of my Yuan family, who else could she be? Apologize to Zhuzhu immediately!"
Jiang Yingying's face changed slightly, and she curled her lips aggrievedly, "Grandma, my granddaughter-in-law was just joking casually, why are you taking her seriously?"
"Is it possible to say this casually? Zhuzhu has become cheerful. This is a great good thing. How come it has changed from your mouth? Apologize, otherwise I will go to the ancestral hall to kneel down!"
Jiang Yingying felt that what she said was no big deal, but the elder's wife refused to give in. This made Jiang Yingying, who had been pampered by her family since childhood, feel very uncomfortable.
She slapped her chopsticks on the table and said angrily: "If you don't want to eat, you won't eat. Yan Mingzhu has the ability. Now everyone in the Yuan family has to look at her face before they can eat. Everyone has to offer her to their ancestors."
With.
She is an ancestor, and I am just a useless waste who can’t do anything to help her. After all, after all, my husband and I had paid homage to the ancestral hall, but before we had sex, he ordered his troops to go on an expedition. In addition to paying homage to the high hall, there was nothing else.
, I am not considered the daughter-in-law of the Yuan family either.
If you and your family join forces to bully me, an outsider, no one will really feel sorry for me. Just kneel down at the ancestral hall, what’s the big deal!”
With that said, Jiang Yingying rushed out of the door.
"Yingying..."
Mrs. Yuan Er wanted to chase her, but she was stopped by Mrs. Yuan Er: "Sit down, no one is allowed to go to her, let alone intercede for her!"
Hearing this, Mrs. Yuan'er's face was a little embarrassed, "Mom, Yingying is also a poor child. She and Shen'er just paid homage to Gaotang, and Shen'er led the troops to go on an expedition and never returned... After all, our Yuan'er is our
The family owes her a debt, and she can understand her resentment..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the senator's wife: "If you have resentment in your heart, you shouldn't talk nonsense and take others' kindness to her as a matter of course that you owe her. If she doesn't correct her temper in time, she will
You will definitely fall into trouble in the future!
Okay, there is no need to say anything more to plead for her. She must bear the punishment today. This is for her own good. Sit down and have a good meal!"
